A couple of months ago I read Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door and loved it! So I went on a hunt for more and found Final Girls. The term final girl comes from horror films were the last person standing at the end, usually a girl, acquired the title.
In Final Girls the story follows the story of Quincy Carpenter who survived a massacre at Pine Cottage when she was one holiday with five friends. Ten years later she’s still trying to recover when another final girl, Sam, appears in her life.
Sam, Lisa and Quincy are all connected because they are final girls. But Lisa, who seemed to be the one doing the best at coming to terms with happened, abruptly commits suicide. Quincy is left trying to work out why. The police officer who rescued her on that night in Pine Cottage, Coop, is still in touch with her and she asks him to help her.
It all gets messy and ends up back at Pine Cottage. But it keeps you at the edge of your seat right until the end. I read it all in one day over Christmas. No doubt you can do the same now we’re not going anywhere fast.
